“Workshoppers” — employees who shop online from the office using corporate devices — are rampant in the office, new research shows. According to a survey by staffing firm Robert Half Technology, nearly two-thirds of professionals said they plan to shop online from work this holiday season. Des Moines is among the top 10 cities with the most “workshoppers,” with 39 percent of local respondents saying they plan to snag online deals a few times a week from work during the holidays: From the corporate perspective, 53 percent of technology decision-makers surveyed said they prefer that employees refrain from shopping online during business hours or using a company device, even though 76 percent said their company policy allows for it. Now is “a great time to reaffirm company policies and best practices with teams,” according to Ryan Sutton, a district president for Robert Half Technology. “It’s inevitable that some employees will use work devices for personal reasons, but with proper guidance on safe browsing practices and implementation of strong security systems, risks can be mitigated,” he said.
